According to Nintendo Life report and netizen Cube_play_8, the latest update of the "Nintendo Today!" application seems to have completely blocked the screen recording and screenshot functions.

In March this year, Nintendo announced the mobile app "Nintendo Today!" at its latest direct-to-face meeting, which aims to provide players with exclusive Nintendo information.The next day, the app exclusively announced the news that the live-action version of the Legend of Zelda movie was scheduled to be released on March 26, 2027.
Since then, a large number of new Switch2 functions have been exposed in advance and circulated on the network through the application, including the host PIN code locking function and the charging protection mechanism that delays battery aging.For users who are reluctant to install new applications, these leaks are a good source of information.But the latest situation shows that Nintendo seems to have begun banning in-app screen recording.
Test videos circulating on the Internet show that when users try to record with Xiaomi 15 Ultra, the picture will immediately turn black.However, some netizens still successfully recorded with old devices, and the specific reason is still unclear.Several users in the comment area reported similar situations, among which the Samsung Galaxy S23 user confirmed that it was blocked, and another user said that only the video content is protected.GoNintendo also confirmed that iPhones cannot intercept content.
It is not yet certain whether this is Nintendo's deliberate act to curb leaks and guide users to use official applications, or whether it is an unexpected vulnerability caused by system updates.Both explanations are logical, which makes the incident seem more confusing.
